According to the Los Angeles Times, the day's demonstrations began at the Dolby Theatre, which is where the Oscars have been held since 2002. From its location in the Hollywood & Highland Center, marchers wearing "pussy hats" and Wonder Woman T-shirts made their way to the CNN Building on Sunset Boulevard. Later they headed back toward Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue, passing the Walk of Fame—and the stars of alleged assaulters Kevin Spacey and President Donald Trump—along the way.

The day also saw a movement leaders powerfully sharing stories and calling for change.

"We will no longer be intimidated, we will no longer be dismissed, we will no longer be silenced, we will no longer feel alone," said comedian Tess Rafferty, who co-organized the Take Back the Workplace March. "And if you try and silence or intimidate or discredit one of us, you're going to have to deal with all of us. We are no longer the ones who have to fear for their jobs; you are.

Lauren Sivan, one of Harvey Weinstein's accusers also spoke: "This is 2017; the time is ripe for a reckoning, for a reordering of power. Today we’re here to tell you that you will no longer keep us quiet, you will no longer label us gold-diggers or psychos. That ends now because we want our daughters and sons to go to a workplace where they will never have to take a meeting with a dude in a bathrobe.”

Burke also gave those listening a call to action as she spoke, making the point that Hollywood and the movie industry aren't islands when it comes to sexual harassment and assault.

"For every Harvey Weinstein, there’s a hundred more men in the neighborhood who are doing the exact same thing," Burke said. "The conversation around harassment in Hollywood will broaden to include other industries if we force it to. It’s not going to do it on its own."
